Pedigree and achievement, [1603x1614], of William Gruffyth [or Griffith], 'Justice of the peace and corum of the Cittie and Libertie of Westminster and of the Countie of Middlesex, and Sergeant of Armes to the Kinge', compiled by Rhys Cain, containing sixteen other fully painted and impaled coats of arms.
The pedigree traces William's ancestry through fourteen generations, in the male line only, via the Griffiths of Penrhyn and Ednyfed Vachan [Fychan], to Ednyfed's grandfather Ierwerth ap Gwgon; in addition, Ierwerth's descent from Koel Godeboc is recorded in a cartouche at the head of the pedigree. William's uncle Pyrs [or Piers] Griffith, the last of the family to own Penrhyn, is also included, as are William's six siblings and seven children, presented without heraldry. The achievement, with nine quarterings, is placed at the foot of the pedigree, between depictions of the two alternative crests with which it was associated. The pedigree is based on the work of Guttyn Owain, Gruffydd Hiraethog, Ieuan Brechva and William Llyn, as noted at various points in the margins. The roll is an example of style 3 in M. P. Siddons, Welsh Pedigree Rolls (Aberystwyth, 1996), pp. 11-12. William and his parents, siblings and children are not recorded among the descendants of Sir Rhys Griffith (d. 1580) in J. E. Griffith, Pedigrees of Anglesey and Carnarvonshire Families (Horncastle, 1914), p. 185.
